I idl'XIY AGENT REPORTS I MANY WEEVILS IN HALIFAX I WELDON, July 3.?Bell weevil I infestation in Halifax county is the I heaviest this year that we have I ever had so early. Weevils have I been found plentiful in all parts of the county. If the wet weather of ^June continues through July and Itl August the weevil damages will be terrific unless our farmers fight weevil intelligently. It is easily possible for the cotton crop in the ctunty to be cut 50 per cent or greater. In order to successfully fight weevils it is necessary to keep closely in touch with the weevil situation on your individual farm from the time squares begin to form until the crop is safe. This information is necessary in order to how what tc do and when to do it. If weevils are found plentiful on H ?U cotton before squares begin to ta or when they begin to form I tse the molasses mixture made up t' one gallon of cheap molasses, one I islion of water and one pound of I sicium arsenate applied with a I Eop to the cotton plants. This gives I W4 results by killing the over *-"ered weevils before they have I hi an opportunity to lay their I ? in the first squares.

Kitchin Elected President Of Wake Forest RALEIGH, July 3.?By a first ballot vote of 24 to eight, later made unanimous, Dr. Thurman D. Kitchin, Dean of the College Medical school, was yesterday elected president of Wake Forest College. He fnboc nffiVo Immadiatplv AS Dr. F. P. Gaines, former president of the college, has already taken over his new duties as president of Washington and Lee University. The sweeping victory of the new president, against whom a minority fight was waged for the past month, and the good humored spirit in which he accepted it indicates that whatever breach there remains on the Wake Forest campus will soon he healed, according to the trustees who, at their meeting here, made the choice and later heard Dr. Kitchin's short talk. Promises Cooperation Dr. William L. Poteat, president emeritus of the college, who was opposed to the election of Dr. Kitchin publicly stated that he would give the new president his whole hearted co-opera ion, whoever might be chosen, and the lesser lights of the opposition made similar statements. Dr. Kitchin himself stated to the trustees that he held no resentment toward any who opposed him. The committee of five whose task it was to recommend a new president reported to the trustees, at the beginning of the meeting yesterday, that in view of the agitation that had existed it nad not found it possible to make any specific recommendation. Dr. J. Clyde Turner, chairman of the committee who was the man on whom the anti-Kitchin forces had centered during the last weeks of their campaign, postponed making the report until he told the trustees that it would be impossible even if he was elected. The motion was made and passed that nomination would be received from the floor but that no speeches of eulogies would be allowed. The trustees were merely to name whom they desired and vote. Hester Nominated Robert Royal, of Wake Forest, nominated Dr. Kitchin. The only other nominee for the office was Dr. J. M. Kester, former pastor of the First Baptist Church, Wilmington and now educational secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Southern Baptist Convention. When Dr. Kitchin won on the first ballot it was moved that his Election be made unanimous, a motion which carried immediately. Colonel Frank Hobgood, of Greensboro ,and Dr. Wingate Johnson, of Winston-Sajem, were then delegated to go to Wake Forest, inform Dr. Kitchin of his election and invite him ts\ oHHrARR the trustees if he so desired.

The company will form at the armory here at 10 o'clock and at noon will march to the depot where they will entrain. The troop train will leave Warren Plains at 1:25. Officers and men are looking forward to the rifle match which will be held next Wednesday Lieut. Harold Skillman said. The men have been firing on the local range for the past month and entertain high hopes of winning the rifle markmanship trophy. Last year Co. B won the rifle marksman cup for I the third time and it became the I permanent property of the comI pany. i This year former Capt. Stephen E. Burroughs has contributed the cup for the regiment. This, according to Lieut. Skillman. is addition al reason for the determination of the men to win again this year. | "The cup goes from Warrenton and we are going to do our best to bring it back home," he said. The regimental review will be held on the 17th of July and a ball will be held that night. It is expected that many cnizeps or Warren wih motor to Morehead for these events. In handing over a roster of the' men who are expected to attend camp, Lieut. Skillman pointed out that it was quite posible that a few of the men listed would not be able to make the trip, on account of business duties. "We are afraid that Sergeants Walter V. Cawthorne and William K. Lanier will not be able to be with us," he said, "but hope that former First Sergeant William D. Jones will be with us for several days." The list as handed in by Lieutenant Skillman is as follows: \ Captain Claude T. Bowers, 1st Lieutenant Harold D. Skillman, 2nd Lieutenant Andrew J. Hundley; 1st Soret. Walter V. Cawthorne: Ser L. W.

She was the last of a family of 18 children, a daughter of Dr. Thomas J. and Olivian Roles Terrell. Mrs. Perkinson, formerly of Wake County, was the widow of N. G. Perkinson, of Warren County, who died over 30 years ago.

Perkinson and f Men Who Escaped Frojn Granville Jail Are Recaptured John and Burt Hilton and Raymond Brickhouse, white men who escaped from the Granville county jail at Oxford on Monday morning, were recaptured early yesterday morning by Halifax officers. John and Burt Hilton were caught at the Information Pilling Station between Littleton and Rosemary and Raymond Brickhouse was captured near Littleton. The escaped men led Chief K. P. Topping and Deputy Salmon of Littleton a twenty-mile chase that led through the heart of Warrenton on Tuesday night about 10 o'clock. The men were spotted by Littleton officers as they were puilling off in a car. Jumping into another machine they began the pursuit which led through Warrenton out on the old dirt road to Ridgeway where the trail was lost. The men escaped from the Granville county jail in Oxford shortly after 8 o'clock Monday morning after holding up Jailer J. A. Clay. After the jailer had brought breakfast, he was called back to the cell in which the three men were held, whereupon one of them threw a pistol against his side and ordered him to unlock the door. Clay obeyed, and the trio, once out, knocked the jailer down and rob pea mm ot live $1 bills he had in his pocket. The men then ran outside, jumped into the jailor's new Pontiac coach and made their getaway. John Hilton and Raymond Brickhouse were fugitives from the Caledonia farm of the State Prison, here they were doing time for storebreaking, the two Hiltons having been sent up for that offense in this City, and Brickhouse from Elizabeth City. Burt Hilton had finished his term. The trio was held in the Granville jail for breaking into the Pryor Clothing Store in Oxford, two months ago, and were to have been tried at the July term of court there. Sheriff J. E. Davis said 22 other prisoners were in jail at the time of the hold-up, but, since they were in other cells had no chance to escape. The three white men were all in the same cell. Burt Hilton and Raymond Brickhouse were arrested at Littleton by Chief K. B. Topping on April 25. John C. Hilton at that time escaped after a five-hour chase with bloodhounds. Later he was. arrested by Wake county officers. These men are believed to have robbed the Cash Co. at Warrenton on Tuesday night before their capture at Littleton.

Jfjj f MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME 1^ T | J NUMBER 27 Tvotehs to go to POLLS SATURDAY Contest Between Pinnell And Sheriff Williams Holds Center of Interest HEAVY VOTE EXPECTED For the second time during the summer voters of Warren will go to their respective precincts to vote for the Democratic nominee for heriff, for the House of Representatives, and for Judge of Recorder's court. . : As in the first primary chief interest lies in the race for Sheriff between the present encumbent, O. D. Williams, and W. J. Pinnell, prominent farmer and business man of Afton section. Practically the only development in this race brought forth in the past five weeks was the announcement last week by Sheriff Williams that if elected he would make John Leach of Littleton his chief deputy after December 1, succeeding F. H. Neal. What affect this announcement will have on his candidacv is Droblematic. In the first primary Sheriff Williams, running in a field of five, polled 1202 votes to Mr. Pinnell's 091.. Former Sheriff R. E. Davis, B. G. Tharrington and E. L. Green were eliminated. F. B. Newell and Dr. W. W. Taylor of Warrenton have been conducting a quiet but earnest campaign for Judge of Recorder's court, as have J. A. Dowtin and John S. Davis in their race for House of Representatives. In the first primary Dr. W. VI Taylor received 929 votes and Mr Newell 835. W. C. Fagg, T. C. Alston and John H. Taylor were unsuccessful candidates. J. A. Dowtin received 1016 votes in the first primary. John S. Davis received 930. Unsuccessful candidates were J. C. Hardy or Norlina and T. H. Aycock of Elberon. In addition to the county officials, voters of Judkins will decide whether J. T. Myrick or Hunt Johnson shall be members of the road board. Mr. Myrick received 143 votes in the first primary; Mr. Johnson 104. Although the vote is not expected to reach the record mark of June 7, it is believed that the vote will b? fairly heavy on Saturday. However, the ballot is short and with only one box to be counted results should be known early Saturday night.
